Abstract

Changes in work of the clinical expert department of the Khabarovsk branch of the S. Fyodorov Eye Microsurgery Federal State Institution (the Khabarovsk branch) in the context of a pandemic of the novel coronavirus disease were analyzed in the article. The difficulties that have appeared in all sections of the work performed are described, both medical and expert: the time for checking the quality of filling out medical documentation has increased due to the identification of a larger number of defects; the time for medical control and discharge of patients from the hospital has increased due to the impossibility of accumulating patients in one place and the need to maintain social distance; difficulties arose in working with experts from insurance companies due to the lack of direct communication (medical records are checked outside the Khabarovsk branch). The concern of people about the possibility of carrying out surgical treatment in conditions of coronavirus infection was expressed in an increase in the information load of the «Question - Answer» section on the website of the Khabarovsk branch and, accordingly, on the doctors in the clinical expert department working with it. Key words: pandemic, COVID-19, SARSCoV-2, anti-epidemic measures, personal protective equipment, social distance, treatment control, medical documentation, medical and economic expertise.
